Letter: Country needs deeper cuts than sequestration

Think about it, the sequestered amount is $1.2 trillion over 10 years. President Barack Obama has had deficits of over a trillion dollars every year he has been in office. Truth is this is a drop in the bucket.

I am ashamed our congresspeople and senators would not stand up and explain the truth. With Obama's rate of spending, his deficit will be over $11 trillion. This $1.2 trillion will be forgotten. I suggested to the congressmen and senators that I called that if they cut every agency by 15 to 20 percent, they could do this and never lose an employee.

It seems nobody has the backbone to even begin doing the right thing, and I am mad as fire about it. I believe we should all get up in arms about this and let them know we know they don't know what they are talking about. It is so simple that I'll bet a 3rd-grader could figure this out. They are just showing they really don't know how the government runs or don't care or both.

We probably don't have a man or woman who will speak up for this. They would rather run around crying, "Woe to me, woe," and I am ashamed of the entire group. Most of the people have believed their lies or don't care.

Do we not love our country? We need to get off our behinds and light a fire under all our legislature, or we will lose our country.
